Ingredients
- 50g buckwheat
- 250ml milk of your choice
- 2 tsp poppy seeds
- 125g blueberries
- 1 small orange, zested and juiced
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Method
- STEP 1
Tip the buckwheat into a bowl. Pour in 250ml cold water, then cover and leave to soak for at least 4 hrs or preferably overnight.
- STEP 2
Drain the soaked buckwheat and pulse a few times with the milk in a food processor to create a semi-smooth texture, then pour into a saucepan along with the poppy seeds. Cook over a low heat for 7-10 mins whisking continuously until creamy and thickened.
- STEP 3
Put the blueberries in a small saucepan along with the orange juice, zest and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat and cook gently for 5 mins or until the blueberries pop and become saucy. Spoon the porridge into two bowls and top with the blueberry compote.
